Finally getting around to document my bike so far. This will be a slow thread with limited funds but hopefully picture heavy. Been into bikes for over 20 years with the old cruisers. After a 10 year hiatus and getting remarried, I wanted a bike again and picked up my 1st sportbike. An '03 F4i. And the bug bit hard.
The wife then decided in late '09 that she wanted a bike and we got her an '08 Ninja 250r. Had a great time that following year. Found a few riding buddies, did some day/overnight trips on the bikes. Was having a good time riding and the claws dug deep into the sport bike scene.
In late 2010 the wife was ready to upgrade, so she jumped on the F4i and loved it. So we started the discussion to sell her Ninja and she got the F4i and I could get a different bike. I contemplated jumping up to a 1k, but my head was telling me the 600 was the perfect bike for me so I started the hunt for my RR.
I fell in love with the Tribals and coming up a little short on finding one I could afford, this beauty popped up. A little negotiation on price, a 4 hour drive at midnite and it was sitting in my garage.
So here is how she sat when I picked it up. Only mod's were the unknown black screen, flushmounts, ebay seat cowl and IT.
